Re: [Freedos-user] How create a booting freddos cd live
Hi Bruce, i've download your package, but i've a problem. I running Pupy linux lucid, so the package don't start (also if i use WINE). I've download and extract files on root, then ,with my cd editor i've burned the contents of folder Images with subfolder, but when i boot from cd nothing appear.The notebook seem dead (search on cd and hang up, no isolinux start). I suppose i due setting some command for make the cd bootable, but PBurn don't display this command. Can you create for me a zip file with right iso image (in dos add FDAPM and last DEVLOAD version) , so i can burn directly the cd? P.s. i suppose can be intersting also for others users ,and can be place in Fd distro page under description FD 1.1. LIVE CD ONLY.

Re: [Freedos-user] How create a booting freddos cd live
What I sent you is not a CD image. You have to build the image first using mkBootableCD.bat, then burn the resulting file myCD.iso. It seems unlikely that this will work on a Linux machine. If you can't find a Windows machine then someone else will have to help you.

Re: [Freedos-user] How create a booting freddos cd live
At its most basic, FreeDOS requires only kernel.sys and command.com. I have some utilities, but I don't have all of them, and won't attempt to guess at what you want (you can get them yourself at http://www.freedos.org/software/?cat=util). However, I have put something online for you at http://personalpages.tds.net/~ikc/dirtcheap/Roberto.zip Unzip this file to your desktop. The images folder will later become the root directory of your CD. Put whatever files you want in this folder, but don't mess with the other stuff that's already in there. Double-click on mkBootableCD.bat. It will create a CD image called myCD.iso. Burn that to a disk and you'll have a functional FreeDOS live CD. The utilities already on the floppy drive image are located in the bootdisk folder, just for safekeeping. The actual floppy drive image (which becomes drive A: on bootup) is boot.img in the ISOLINUX folder. This image can be edited using the Virtual Floppy Drive software that I've supplied (look in the VFD2.1 folder). Obviously this floppy image cannot hold more than 1.44 MB, so be judicious with what you put in there. The CD itself will show up as the Y: drive after bootup. For convenience I've also loaded a 5-MB RAMdrive as drive Z: and copied the command interpreter in there so it will run faster. The path is currently set to search drives A:, Y: and Z:. FreeDOS should also find any other physical partitions on your computer that are in a FAT format, but I'm not guaranteeing it. If you want to put other files on the RAMdrive or launch extra TSRs or generally have something else happen at bootup just edit the file WRAPPER.BAT. Loading additional device drivers, however, will require editing CONFIG.SYS then copying that (and the driver) to boot.img using VFD. For your convenience I've also placed a file in there called Making_A_Bootable_CD_V15.pdf. This pdf was captured from the web page that I told you about earlier and should provide some additional guidance if you want to do further modifications.

Once SETUP.BAT is running it will show you an installation menu. Just burn the FreeDOS ISO just like any random Linux ISO file.

I can readily make you one. I'm not going to do it tonight, though. It is new year's eve, after all. Give me 24 hours and I'll provide a link to an ISO that you can download. If you can give me some idea of what you plan to do with it I can better accommodate you. Be advised that FreeDOS will not be able to find any non-FAT partition on your computer.
